I might argue that since you are inputting all kinds of pennies into your machine, the ROI is actually much lower. Let's say that pre 1983 pennies make up 50% of all pennies, which is pretty generous. Those pennies are worth $.0107 and the other pennies are worth $.0100. This gives you a $.0003 return per penny, on average. If you consider then the amount of time that you spend making your penny sorter, and the cost of parts, you would need a massive quantity of pennies to break even. Not that the penny sorter wouldn't be awesome. What is your plan for that machine btw, I have an extra sb-RIO laying around, that might work. I wonder if you could do this using vision? hmm.
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock stock one year ago, it would be worth £4.95 today. With HBOS, you would have £16.50 left of the original £1000. With XL Leisure, you would have less than a fiver. And if you had purchased £1000 of Seguro Air Lines stock, you would have a measly 49p. However, if you had purchased £1000 worth of Tennent's Lager one year ago, drank the lot of it, then re-cycled the cans at an aluminium plant for a cash refund, you would have £214.
And so, based on the above information, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
If you are an engineer, I would love to hear what's on your mind. If you're not an engineer, then none of this will make any sense, so go back to YouTube and look up "funny animals" or something. I'm sure you'll understand that.
